So, think you’re up for a
Welsh 3-Peaks Challenge?

BusyBus are proud to deliver all elements and aspects of Welsh 3-Peak Challenge transport logistics in what we believe is the safest and most professional way available. To many, at first glance, a Wales three peak challenge sounds relatively straighforward and easy. However, let there be no mis-understandings; it’s difficult!

It doesn’t simply rely on your personal fitness but also on careful organisation, good co-ordination, fit-for-purpose transport, competent driving, teamwork, strategy, motivation and passion. Embarking on your journey to achieve and succeed starts with your transport partner and you simply won’t get better than BusyBus to deliver that to you!

So, do you feel up for it? A total of 150 miles (140 kms / 4.1/2 hours) inter-mountain driving on Welsh roads, 18 miles (29 kms / 12.5 Hours) of power-trekking, some during darkness, climbing a total of nearly 2,900 vertical metres (9,000ft)?

Makes you shudder just at the thought doesn’t it? Well, this a special kind of challenge, and not one that everyone is going to achieve but then again, it wouldn’t be a challenge would it? With our transport expertise you can trust us to take care of the whole complex logistical organisation of your event so you can get on with training, mental and physical preparation.

Most of the laws applicable to a Welsh 3-Peaks Challenge relate to the transport and are imposed for the safety of everyone. Some companies make every effort to “beat” the law but BusyBus is proud to both agree and comply fully with it; not because we don’t want to get into trouble, but because we want to be as safe as possible. Our drivers want to see their families again just as much as you do!

Transferring teams the 260-mile round-trip journey from Chester, between the mountains and back to Chester as quickly as possible is stressful on the driver. VOSA have given both guidelines and legislation on journeys of this type. For example, driver breaks and changes are strategically integrated into every challenge and the typical itineraries below have accounted for these.

Whatever company you choose to provide your transport (even if you go it alone and hire a self-drive minibus) do not underestimate the importance of transport and make sure you are as safe as possible at all times. Ask your transport provider or appointed driver for their clear, written intentions of how they will both maximise safety and comply with the law. After all, you don’t want the additional challenge of recovering your vehicle and team-mates from wreckage in a ravine, all alone in the middle of nowhere at 4am!

They know the routes well, understand your needs fully and will become a valuable member of your team. There’s nothing worse than coming off a mountain feeling exhausted, wind howling, hungry, cold and then being met by a grumpy, miserable driver, so you won’t!
